so the bitcoins are floating about with no place on the net to be delivered
This is incorrect
Your bitcoins are already at your private address. But well it seems you already figured that. Yes, to access them you need a bitcoin client

The Bitcoin QT client should work on mac, i mean this one http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/files/Bitcoin/bitcoin-0.7.0/bitcoin-0.7.0-macosx.dmg/download Dunno why it doesn't work on your mac. Aren't mac super extra mega computers where everything works fine and where there are no problems and with the best operative system around all the universe?  Roll Eyes Buy a real computer next time mkay?
Anyway, it should work on mac

Or, you can use a lightweight client wich doesn't require the full blockchain to be downloaded. Like
Electrum http://electrum-desktop.com/

Then you will have of course to import the private key to that client. Dunno if you can just copy-paste the wallet.dat file  Smiley

Thanx everyone for the all help, I am too old to become a nerd like my old mac, its over 5 years old and won't run btc-qt 7.0.  Apple refused to fix it because it is so old, firefox doesn't supply updates for my os, but it runs sweet as a nut on the silk road,
one love...

Thanx psy,
but that really is too nerdy for me, I thought bitcoin would have been a bit like paypal, all I want is to buy stuff with them.
One love...

I did manage to create a wallet.dat file, but bitcoin-qt never synched with the network.  I downloaded bitcoin-qt 7 to a friends mac which is newer than mine, but i can't figure out how to import the wallet.dat file, this has been going on for a month, I now have an online wallet and I can send and receive coins through that.  I was so enthusiastic when I discovered bitcoins that i just jumped in, instead of researching a bit more and figuring it out.  They can be a bit nerdy.
Thanx for quick reply

I bought 22 bitcoins at intersango, I sent them to my bitcoin-qt address, however bitcoin-qt doesn't work on my mac, so the bitcoins are floating about with no place on the net to be delivered, what can I do? I can see them alright at blockchain.info, but I can't access them without a private key.

Help would be appreciated, thanx
